Roscoe Robinson, Jr.
Class of 1946
Army, 20+ Years
Roscoe Robinson, Jr. attended West Point Military Academy from 1947 to 1951. (He was recommended by Sumner). He became the Army's FIRST FOUR-STAR GENERAL. Among his many positions held, he was the U.S. Representative to NATO in Brussels, Belgium. Since his death in 1993, West Point has named an
Auditorium after him. A bust of him was unveiled in the Buffalo Soldiers' Park in Ft. Leavenworth, KS. A Clinic was named for him at Ft. Bragg, N.C., where he had served as commander of the 82nd Airborne. He also served in Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Germany, Hawaii, Liberia and Okinawa.
Having earned a Master's Degree in International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh, He received a Distinguished Graduate Award from that Institution.(as well as one from West Point)
A representative from The University of Pittsburgh is now in the process of writing a book about him and will distribute them in the Public Schools in the city.
He is in the Hall of Fame at Sumner, but it is surprising that he is not listed in your Website list of Distinguished Gratuates.
